Playing With Fire

Rachel Lee

Harlequin Romantic Suspense, Aug 1 2015, $5.50

ISBN: 9780373279296

Arson investigator Charity Atkins arrives in Conard City, Wyoming
to help the local fire department with their rash of deliberately set
fires. Feeling like a displaced urbanite
in the small town, Charity seeks Fire Chief Wayne Camden only to find him when
he rushes out of a burning building carrying a baby.

Desperate before someone dies in one of these blazes, Wayne
welcomes Charity; as he knows his town needs her skills and experience. As they team up to end the reign of terror,
the arsonist also welcomes Charity though he has different plans for her. As the fire chief and the arson investigator
fall in love, the single dad struggles with his distrust of women after his
wife deserted him.

The tenth Conard County: The Next
Generation romantic suspense (see Undercover Hunter) is an action-packed,
fast-paced thriller. The protagonists
are a fantastic pairing as love and courage flourish; while the clever villain
hides in plain sight although the original motive for the fires seems
over the top of the Grand Tetons.
